Mrs. Mary Coleman testified: 81 live
near the glass works Oh Fort avenue. L
was married in September. l was sick
n the 10Th of July, 1887, and DIR. Hef-
fin was called to attend me. The boys
came home from the Boston fire be-
tween 10 and IL o'clock. They talked
about the fire. Tim was drunk and
made good deal of noise. l remember
telling the doctor that they were my
brothers. l was in bed about three
weeks. Liquor always makes Tim
stupid. We have always regarded him
as supplemented. We have often
talked about him and thought he would
some time be sent to an insane asylum.
/ have often heard Henry say hard
things about mother. When she came
from Omaha to my house, Henry came
down to the house making threats and
we thought he was going to kill her.
Whenever he came to the house he
quarreled with her. Several times we
thought he would kill her."
